being grumpy, I'm being real,
346
00:18:20,724 --> 00:18:21,725
like this is definitely
347
00:18:21,809 --> 00:18:24,937
like the chossiest thing
I've ever climbed.
348
00:18:25,020 --> 00:18:26,230
I mean, do you know
how many rocks
349
00:18:26,313 --> 00:18:27,856
have [bleep]
just missed my head?
350
00:18:27,940 --> 00:18:29,024
[Alex] Yeah.
351
00:18:30,818 --> 00:18:34,321
[Mikey] Ideally when you're
climbing with people,
352
00:18:34,404 --> 00:18:37,449
you need them
to be able to empathize
353
00:18:37,533 --> 00:18:42,204
and relate
with how you're feeling.
354
00:18:42,287 --> 00:18:44,790
[Alex] I got it.
355
00:18:44,873 --> 00:18:46,500
Ah, oh, rock, rock, rock.
356
00:18:46,583 --> 00:18:47,584

[Mikey] Rock!
360
00:18:52,131 --> 00:18:54,258
[Hazel] It's so sketchy.
361
00:18:54,341 --> 00:18:57,344
This is terrifying!
362
00:18:57,427 --> 00:18:58,470
[Mikey] Dude, Alex.
363
00:18:58,554 --> 00:18:59,805
[Alex] I know.
364
00:18:59,888 --> 00:19:03,809
[Mikey] It's like literally
getting shot at by your buddy.
365
00:19:03,892 --> 00:19:07,020
Alex is not doing a great job
366
00:19:07,104 --> 00:19:11,775
at understanding the experience
that the rest of us are having.
367
00:19:11,859 --> 00:19:12,985
There's only so many times, man,
368
00:19:13,068 --> 00:19:15,988
you can dodge rocks
and stay psyched.
369
00:19:16,071 --> 00:19:18,699
[Alex] That's fair.
370
00:19:18,782 --> 00:19:23,579
I mean, everybody's bummed
because it's really hard work.
371
00:19:23,662 --> 00:19:26,540
And normally you justify
that level of hard work
372
00:19:26,623 --> 00:19:29,293
by the fact that it's enabling
you to climb this wall.
373
00:19:29,376 --> 00:19:33,630
[Hazel] Ah, man, it's so hard
in approach shoes.
374
00:19:33,714 --> 00:19:35,507
[Alex] But in this case,
no one else on the team
375
00:19:35,591 --> 00:19:37,384
is getting any of the upside.
376
00:19:37,467 --> 00:19:39,928
[Hazel] Ah!
377
00:19:40,012 --> 00:19:42,264
[Alex] I mean, in general, I felt
like I was being pretty careful,
378
00:19:42,347 --> 00:19:44,516
but I mean, I'm sure
I've knocked some rocks.
379
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,226
[Hazel] Well, yeah, I mean,
rocks have been coming down
380
00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:48,562
the whole time.
381
00:19:48,645 --> 00:19:49,897
[Alex] They don't have
any of their gear,
382
00:19:49,980 --> 00:19:52,065
so they're just improvising
random bits and bobs
383
00:19:52,149 --> 00:19:54,234
to slide their way up the rope.
384
00:19:54,318 --> 00:19:57,738
I mean, they're basically just
following me like pack animals.
385
00:19:57,821 --> 00:20:01,074
You know, I get it,
but I think that we're doing
386
00:20:01,158 --> 00:20:04,077
the safest and easiest
thing that we can.
387
00:20:04,161 --> 00:20:06,079
I'm off belay, Mikey!
388
00:20:06,163 --> 00:20:08,832
[Mikey] Okay, you're off!
389
00:20:08,916 --> 00:20:10,250
[Alex] We're poised
to do the first ascent
390
00:20:10,334 --> 00:20:13,587
of one of the biggest
unclimbed walls in the world.
391
00:20:13,670 --> 00:20:15,214
It's a great opportunity
as a climber,
392
00:20:15,297 --> 00:20:17,674
but if anybody doesn't want
to do that, then, I mean,
393
00:20:17,758 --> 00:20:22,554
that's, you know, it's like
we're all here by choice.
394

You can come up on the white
when you're ready!
395
00:20:25,349 --> 00:20:27,226
[Mikey] Yeah, one sec!
396
00:20:27,309 --> 00:20:31,396
So, yeah, what's an honest take
right now of this whole thing?
397
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,857
Oh, god, here, if you
hand that to me, I can...
398
00:20:33,941 --> 00:20:37,069
[Hazel] Yeah, put it up there.
399
00:20:37,152 --> 00:20:38,904
[Mikey] I think I got it.
400
00:20:38,987 --> 00:20:41,406
I mean, those last
two pitches were...
401
00:20:41,490 --> 00:20:42,616
[Hazel] Really, really bad.
402
00:20:42,699 --> 00:20:44,493
[Mikey] I mean, there's
just no way to like...
403
00:20:44,576 --> 00:20:45,786
I'm just struggling
to figure out
404
00:20:45,869 --> 00:20:47,913
how to make it remotely safe.
405
00:20:47,996 --> 00:20:50,499
[Hazel] Like there's more loose
stuff than there is solid stuff.
406
00:20:50,582 --> 00:20:53,794
[Mikey] Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I'm...
407
00:20:53,877 --> 00:20:55,379
[Hazel] And not having
the correct gear
408
00:20:55,462 --> 00:20:57,214
is a real kick in the teeth.
409
00:20:57,297 --> 00:20:59,758
[Mikey] Oh, yeah,
that, this was brutal.
410
00:20:59,841 --> 00:21:01,927
I'm not gonna lie. I'm pretty
borderline at this point.
411
00:21:02,010 --> 00:21:03,011
[Hazel] Yeah.
412
00:21:03,095 --> 00:21:04,721
[Mikey] Like, it just,
this is not like
413
00:21:04,805 --> 00:21:06,515
what I signed up for,
you know?
414
00:21:09,017 --> 00:21:11,812
[Hazel] Mikey has a lot
of experience under his belt.
415
00:21:11,895 --> 00:21:14,147
And if he's saying
that his intuition is
416
00:21:14,231 --> 00:21:16,775
that he shouldn't be
on the wall, then I'm like,
417
00:21:16,858 --> 00:21:19,278
uh, you know, maybe I shouldn't
be on the wall either.
418
00:21:19,361 --> 00:21:21,446
You know, it's making me think
419
00:21:21,530 --> 00:21:25,575
that it's riskier
than I thought.
420
00:21:25,659 --> 00:21:26,994
[Alex] Is anyone coming up?
421
00:21:27,077 --> 00:21:28,203
[Mikey] Yeah, yeah, I'm jugging.
422
00:21:28,287 --> 00:21:30,122
[Alex] Oh, wow.
Is Hazel going down?
423
00:21:30,205 --> 00:21:32,958
[Mikey] Yeah.
424
00:21:33,041 --> 00:21:35,794
[Alex] I feel like morale
is really low today.
425
00:21:35,877 --> 00:21:39,923
[Mikey] Yeah, no, morale
is tanking at the moment.
426
00:21:40,007 --> 00:21:43,510
Just so you know.
427
00:21:43,593 --> 00:21:45,637
It's just the danger.
428
00:21:45,721 --> 00:21:48,807
[Alex] Well, what do you think
we should do to make it better?
429
00:21:48,890 --> 00:21:51,184
[Mikey] That's the problem.
430
00:21:51,268 --> 00:21:54,187
Some climbs are just
really dangerous.
431
00:21:54,271 --> 00:21:56,690
It doesn't matter
how good you are.
432
00:21:56,773 --> 00:22:02,279
And over the years, I've lost
quite a few friends to climbing.
433
00:22:02,362 --> 00:22:07,951
You know, more than I can count
on my hands and my feet.
434
00:22:08,035 --> 00:22:12,622
And at this point,
it's hard to be optimistic
435
00:22:12,706 --> 00:22:17,252
that the climbing's
gonna improve at all.
436
00:22:17,336 --> 00:22:21,340
It is more of the same,
if not harder up there
437
00:22:21,423 --> 00:22:26,928

looks steep.

confirmation bias, right,

00:26:28,878 --> 00:26:29,879
[Alex] I mean, it's pretty cool.
515
00:26:29,963 --> 00:26:31,506
What if you go first
the whole way?
516
00:26:31,590 --> 00:26:34,968
[Mikey] I was definitely
hoping that, like,
517
00:26:35,051 --> 00:26:36,469
conditions were gonna improve,
518
00:26:36,553 --> 00:26:38,138
and they have
definitely not improved.
519
00:26:38,221 --> 00:26:39,556
[Alex] You don't think so?
520
00:26:39,639 --> 00:26:40,932
I thought the rock was slowly
getting a little better.
521
00:26:41,016 --> 00:26:42,559
[Mikey] I mean, that last pitch,
you know, pitch you led,
522
00:26:42,642 --> 00:26:44,185
you, like, changed course
because you were like,
523
00:26:44,269 --> 00:26:45,478
"Oh, these are
like Jenga blocks."
524
00:26:45,562 --> 00:26:47,314
And I'm like, "Yeah,
those are proper Jenga blocks."
525
00:26:47,397 --> 00:26:49,941
[Alex] Yeah,
but they didn't fall off.
526
00:26:50,025 --> 00:26:52,694
[Mikey] Yeah, but like, they
do fall off, you know, like...
527
00:26:52,777 --> 00:26:54,029
[Alex] It's just too bad
because you've already taken
528
00:26:54,112 --> 00:26:55,280
so much risk up there,
529
00:26:55,363 --> 00:26:56,906
it's a shame to not
then also climb the wall.
530
00:26:56,990 --> 00:26:59,326
[Mikey] But that is always
a poor reason to take more.
531
00:26:59,409 --> 00:27:00,660
[Alex] That's, that's true.
532
00:27:00,744 --> 00:27:02,954
[Mikey] And I would be
more disappointed in myself
533
00:27:03,038 --> 00:27:06,124
if something happened
while I was up there
534
00:27:06,207 --> 00:27:09,210
than the disappointment
I'd have by not going, I think.
535
00:27:12,464 --> 00:27:14,633
[Alex] Mikey is
an old friend of mine.
536
00:27:14,716 --> 00:27:19,471
And we've been climbing
partners for a long time.
537
00:27:19,554 --> 00:27:21,222
I just worry that
he won't be as satisfied
538
00:27:21,306 --> 00:27:26,603
if he's not actually
climbing the wall.
539
00:27:26,686 --> 00:27:28,480
But, like, are you sure
you're happy with that because...
540
00:27:28,563 --> 00:27:29,856
[Mikey] Yeah, yeah, yeah, no.
541
00:27:29,939 --> 00:27:31,900
You know, and I've never
been one to like,
542
00:27:31,983 --> 00:27:35,654
like, dwell on my decisions.
543
00:27:35,737 --> 00:27:38,531
Alex's biggest concern
is that I would be
544
00:27:38,615 --> 00:27:41,284
disappointed in retrospect,
545
00:27:41,368 --> 00:27:45,622
which I thought was,
was very nice of him.
546
00:27:45,705 --> 00:27:47,540
[Alex] What, uh,
what do you think, Hazel?
547
00:27:47,624 --> 00:27:50,043
[Hazel] I think for me is
I need to know that, like,
548
00:27:50,126 --> 00:27:52,754
you're thinking clearly
about it, you know.
549
00:27:52,837 --> 00:27:55,173
Because it's really cool how
positive and psyched you are,
550
00:27:55,256 --> 00:27:57,592
and that's one of the reasons
I really like climbing with you.
551
00:27:57,676 --> 00:28:00,261
But then sometimes it's like,
are you being so optimistic,
552
00:28:00,345 --> 00:28:02,013
you're not actually
seeing what's going on.
553
00:28:02,097 --> 00:28:03,098
[Alex] Do you feel
like it's been,
554
00:28:03,181 --> 00:28:05,141
been too, too optimistic so far?
555
00:28:05,225 --> 00:28:07,060
[Hazel] Yeah, yeah.
556
00:28:07,143 --> 00:28:11,106
And, like, I'm definitely
more risk-averse than you,
557
00:28:11,189 --> 00:28:15,235
and so I think it would just be
cool to, like, hear from you
558
00:28:15,318 --> 00:28:17,737
that you're listening
to that, you know,
559
00:28:17,821 --> 00:28:20,448
and that, you know, I just,
I just want to make sure
560
00:28:20,532 --> 00:28:22,534
we're on the same page
basically.
561
00:28:22,617 --> 00:28:23,993
[Alex] I hear you. I hear you.
562
00:28:24,077 --> 00:28:27,330
I mean, we definitely want
to be on the same, same page.
563
00:28:27,414 --> 00:28:30,333
I mean, I guess to me
the thing is, are we all...
564
00:28:30,417 --> 00:28:32,210
I don't want to sound hokey...
but, like, when we all go home,
565
00:28:32,293 --> 00:28:33,670
I want to make sure
we're all still friends,
566
00:28:33,753 --> 00:28:35,588
everyone's happy, no one's like
bummed with their decisions.
567
00:28:35,672 --> 00:28:38,007
Nobody, you know, like,
is this, is this okay?
568
00:28:38,091 --> 00:28:39,134
[Mikey] No, I mean, I think
we're making decisions,
569
00:28:39,217 --> 00:28:40,510
and we've talked it
through a lot.
570
00:28:40,593 --> 00:28:42,137
[Hazel] But you still need,
you need, I think you need
571
00:28:42,220 --> 00:28:43,513
to tell me that, like,
572
00:28:43,596 --> 00:28:45,140
this is gonna be good
up there, you know?
573
00:28:45,223 --> 00:28:47,642
[Alex] You're now the sole
partner, so I would say
574
00:28:47,726 --> 00:28:50,145
that now suddenly your opinion
carries a lot of weight
575
00:28:50,228 --> 00:28:51,813
because if you don't
feel comfortable,
576
00:28:51,896 --> 00:28:54,858
then the party's over.
577
00:28:54,941 --> 00:28:57,736
Hazel was very clear
that she wanted me
578
00:28:57,819 --> 00:29:00,071
to respect her opinion
on anything up there
579
00:29:00,155 --> 00:29:05,493
and to be understanding about
however she feels on the wall
580
00:29:05,577 --> 00:29:08,580
and honestly, if our opinions
are gonna be totally equal.
581
00:29:08,663 --> 00:29:11,458
You know, if she wants to go
down, we have to go down.
582
00:29:11,541 --> 00:29:13,209
If you get your gear,
then you can basically lead us
583
00:29:13,293 --> 00:29:16,129
as far as you want to the top,
and I think you'll enjoy that.
584
00:29:16,212 --> 00:29:18,047
I mean, it is pretty cool.
585
00:29:20,925 --> 00:29:23,887
[Hazel] Overall, I still
want to climb that wall.
586
00:29:23,970 --> 00:29:26,973
I have that pull
to have the adventure.
587
00:29:27,056 --> 00:29:30,185
I want to know what
that head wall's like.
588
00:29:30,268 --> 00:29:32,270
So it was really important
to kind of sit down with Alex

I'm your only teammate now,"

in his own way. [laughs]

for literally two days,
882
00:45:46,535 --> 00:45:50,914
we were climbing
on terrible rock.

Neither of us has ever
climbed anything

[Heïdi] I've analyzed
the information

from the time-lapse cameras,
and to my surprise,

I've discovered
that the Daugaard-Jensen
